HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Both drivers made it out of their tractor-trailer trucks on their own following a fiery crash Tuesday morning that closed northbound Interstate 295, near Route 895 (Pocahontas Parkway), in eastern Henrico. The accident, near exit 25, was first reported at 8:23 a.m.. The first emergency crews that arrived at the scene described the crash as "horrific."

"The impact of the crash caused one of the tractor-trailers to catch fire. Neither driver was injured in the crash," Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said. "The left lane was reopened by 9:30 a.m. One of the trucks is loaded with bottled water. The cause of the crash remains under investigation."
